Important Information
What is the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network?
What is the MOHCCN Patient Working Group?
From its inception, the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network has sought to embed the voices of patients, survivors and caregivers at all levels of its operations. This vision was formalized with the launch of the Patient Working Group (PWG) in 2023. Since then, PWG members have participated in the Network’s governance, its research initiatives and national and regional scientific forums, meaning that individuals with lived experience contribute to Network funding decisions, working groups, conferences and outreach activities across the country. This deep and sustained engagement strengthens the relevance, accessibility and impact of the Network’s work, ensuring that precision oncology in Canada is shaped not only for patients, but with them.
